Good New Year's Eve (it's 6 minutes to midnight in Finland) - and Happy
New Year 2024,
the reason I wrote the Bug Report was that it was impossible to install
Ubuntu 23 at all. At that time Ubuntu 22.04 was still using Kernel 5.xx
and problems - if any - were not as severe as in Ubuntu 23.04 and 23.10.
To my understanding atomisp-modules were disabled then.
A quick search with Cherrytrail (ISP2401) gave this news article (
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.7-Media ) - have You read it already?
It seems that improvements to atomisp have been made during the autumn
of 2023 and atomisp-modules have been enabled again in kernel.
I do not have more knowledge, but one of the Red Hat engineers referred
in the Proronix article is Hans de Goede. He is both developing
atomisp-modules and also the one in charge of atomisp-modules in
Kernel.org. So by searching what he has published about the subject this
autumn may give you more info. And if you feel it is important enough -
you may ask him personally.
Yours,
Sami Saarinen
P.S. I have a week old fresh install of Kubuntu 22.04 LTS in a
HP-x2-210-G2 with Intel Atom CPU and dmegs's gives no warnings about
atomisp.

Title:
Computer with Intel Atom CPU will not boot with Kernel 6.2.0-20
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in linux source package in Lunar:

Bug description:
== SRU Justification ==
[Impact]
Some Atom based system cannot boot on kernel 6.2 because of atomisp
driver.
[Fix]
Disable the driver via config, suggested by the driver dev.
[Test]
Users confirmed disabling the config works.
[Where problems could occur]
The ISP camera dever worked on Linux. So disabling it shouldn't
introduce any surprise.
== Original Bug Report ==
Computers with Intel Atom CPU will not boot with Kernel 6.2.0-20 OR any other
Kernel in 6.2 series or Kernel 6.3.0.
This bug affects all Intel Atom CPU computers in all Linux
distributions making impossible to install or boot to OS with kernel
6.2 or higher.
The bug is caused by Intel atomisp camera driver module which has
firmware missing: shisp_2401a_v21.bin. Missing firmware causes a
watchdog bug notice and Soft Lockup of boot sequence.
